Chapter 405: Master and Apprentice
According to legend, Li Chunfeng created the ancient miracle "Northern Shengong" because he was inspired by "Golden Cicada" and referred to "Golden Cicada".
However, "Golden Cicada" is not without shortcomings, its shortcomings are that the requirements for the master and apprentice are extremely harsh, requiring the talents and physiques of the two to be very similar, because the greater the difference between the two, the greater the loss of the master's transmission to the apprentice, and the difficulty for the apprentice to turn the master's skills into his own will also increase rapidly.
If the difference in the talents and physiques of the two is large enough to a certain extent, then it will become impossible for the master to pass on the skills to the apprentice.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Tianyao's master is willing to accept him as a disciple, because he found that Li Tianyao's talent and physique are very different from him, and he happened to get the miraculous book "Golden Cicada Molt" in his hand.
Coming to a remote grove outside Yunzhou City, Li Tianyao looked at no one around, squatted on the ground with his hands, and said loudly: "Master, disciple Li Tianyao is here!"
The figure in the woods flashed, and a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of Li Tianyao. If Li Fengyun was here, he would be surprised to find that this middle-aged man was actually Xiao Huaiyu, the eldest disciple of the Khitan National Master.
Xiao Huaiyu actually accepted a person from the Central Plains as his disciple, and this person turned out to be Li Tianyao.
"Get up!" Xiao Huaiyu raised his hand.
Li Tianyao stood up.
Xiao Huaiyu looked Li Tianyao up and down, a little dissatisfied, and said, "What, Tianyao, you haven't opened up the second vein of Ren Du? How do you practice? Isn't it that you spend every day drinking and having fun, and have already left the matter of practicing in the clouds?"
Li Tianyao's face was flushed with shame, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "The disciple is incompetent, please punish the master!"
Xiao Huaiyu knew that he was too anxious, the sentence just now was serious, although he had not practiced "Golden Cicada", but he also knew the difficulty of this miracle skill, his apprentice did his best, and his qualifications were not bad, and he has not achieved great success until now, which shows that this miracle skill is indeed very difficult.
"I can't blame you entirely!" Xiao Huaiyu sighed, this time he fought with Li Fengyun, because of the Great Hui Dharma King, he failed to plot against Li Fengyun, Xiao Huaiyu was very disappointed. In the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find an opportunity to lead Li Fengyun to confront him head-on. To defeat Li Fengyun, Xiao Huaiyu thought that he could not succeed, so he more or less pinned his hopes on his disciples.
Xiao Huaiyu accepted three disciples, the eldest disciple died on the battlefield that year, the second disciple has limited qualifications, is already in his thirties, and his strength is still only at the second-rate level, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to set foot in the first-class realm in this life. Only this third apprentice, although his current cultivation is not high, is the most likely to inherit his mantle and set foot in the first-class realm.
However, if you continue to practice like this, I don't know when you will be able to practice "Golden Cicada", and when you will be able to defeat Li Fengyun and be ashamed of him.
In the big battle on Taiyi Peak, Xiao Huaiyu was worried that the shadow left in Li Fengyun's heart was not enough, and Li Fengyun would recover sooner or later. From Xiao Huaiyu's understanding of Li Fengyun, it seems that this person has never really been afraid of anything since his debut, nor has he suffered a major blow, and his self-confidence is full.
That battle left a shadow in Li Fengyun's heart, and I am afraid that it will not be able to stop Li Fengyun for long.
"It would be good if Dharma King Dahui didn't interfere, if he didn't interfere, I might be able to completely destroy Li Fengyun's confidence. A person who has no faith in himself will be ruined!"
Xiao Huaiyu sighed secretly.
After checking the progress of Li Tianyao's martial arts, Xiao Huaiyu said: "Tianyao, as a teacher, there is a way to make your "Golden Cicada" quickly complete, but it is quite risky, and if you are not careful, you will go crazy, and even if you use this method to practice "Golden Cicada", there are many hidden dangers. I wonder if you'd like to try?"
Li Tianyao was overjoyed when he heard this, he had been practicing "Golden Cicada Molt" for more than seven years, and his strength had made little progress, and he had long been a little impatient in his heart. In particular, he was humiliated by Li Fengyun twice, and he was deeply ashamed and deeply felt his lack of strength. At this time, I heard the master say that there is a quick way to make his "Golden Cicada Molt" a success, where would he be unwilling, how could he care about how much risk there was, and how many hidden dangers there were?
Kneeling on the ground, Li Tianyao said loudly: "The disciple is willing, please master to fulfill it!"
"Don't you regret it? Do you know that if you are not careful, you will go mad, at least the meridians will be broken, the whole body will be paralyzed, and at the worst the body will disappear and you will be killed on the spot. Moreover, using this method to forcibly upgrade "Golden Cicada" to Dacheng is faster, but after all, it is an evil way, the foundation is unstable, and even the master can't figure out how big the hidden dangers are in the future. Have you really figured it out?" Xiao Huaiyu said slowly.
"As long as the disciple's strength can be greatly improved and he will no longer be humiliated by the hands of villains, even if he pays a big price, the disciple will be willing to do so!" Li Tianyao replied through gritted teeth, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
Of course, Xiao Huaiyu knew who the "villain" in Li Tianyao's mouth was referring to, and after being silent for a while, Xiao Huaiyu said again: "Today's Li Fengyun, even if he is a master, he doesn't dare to say that he can defeat him." Even if you refine "Golden Cicada", if you want to step into the first-class realm, it is not something that can be done in a short time. Not to mention seeking revenge on him!"
"Therefore, the disciple should do whatever it takes to improve his strength in the shortest possible time. Li Fengyun owes me, and his disciples want him to pay it back a thousand times. Li Tianyao did not hesitate.
Xiao Huaiyu was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Well, since you have such determination, the master will not say anything anymore! ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Huaiyu took out a note from his arms and handed it to Li Tianyao: "You go to procure the medicine recorded on this paper as soon as possible, and five days later, the teacher will use his own skills to forcibly open up your second pulse of Ren Du and improve your internal strength and mental method of "Golden Cicada Transformation" to Dacheng."
Subsequently, the teacher will also spare no effort to raise your internal strength to the second-rate top. It will take about a month.
Remember, there's a lot of danger, and you can't make any preparations, let alone be disturbed in the slightest, you know?"
Li Tianyao nodded and replied, "Master, please rest assured, the disciple knows what to expect." My father has already led the army north, and no one in this Yunzhou city can control me, I will arrange a secluded house, and I will let my henchmen and cronies defend it strictly. ”
"General Li Shouzhen has already led his army north?" Xiao Huaiyu obviously didn't know the news, and was shocked in his heart, and asked, "Where did he go?"
Li Tianyao hesitated, after all, his master was a Khitan, his identity was unknown, and he had never even mentioned his name to him, so he had to be a little guarded. After thinking for a while, Li Tianyao replied: "Father never mentions military affairs like his disciples, and you also know that my relationship with him is not good.
I only heard that my father led 20,000 elite soldiers to the north because Dingzhou reported to the imperial court that the Khitan was dispatching troops and there were signs of going south again. The emperor decreed that his father should be appointed as the capital of the northern camp, and the emperor was appointed as a deputy in Yicheng Jiedu, and Keri went north to Xingzhou, so as to let the army of the northern country go south again. ”
Xiao Huaiyu nodded and said, "Tianyao, although you and I belong to the Central Plains and the Khitan respectively, there is not much difference in Master's heart. Fighting on the battlefield, it was a last resort, but you have always been my apprentice, this is a private matter.
It seems that after the matter on your side is dealt with, it is time to go back to the Khitan as a teacher, no matter what, the master is a Khitan, and the Great Khan has something to do, so I have no reason not to go back to the headquarters to be on standby.
If you and I really meet on the battlefield one day, you don't have to show mercy to Master, and Master won't show mercy to you, each for his own master, this is justice, do you understand?"
Li Tianyao kowtowed and cried: "Master, the disciple understands, justice comes first, and the disciple should be clear. I only hope that Master and I will not have that day. In any case, Master must take care. ”
Xiao Huaiyu laughed and said: "Master is naturally fine, the most important thing now is to raise your strength, otherwise, after Master returns to the north, I am afraid it will be difficult to find time to help you." There is still a month to go, and perhaps by then, the relations between the two countries will have eased!"
Li Tianyao knew that what Xiao Huaiyu said was impossible, but he didn't say it.
